Happy Birthday to, well, Me!

That's right! I turned 14 this last weekend. Because of family and friends, I was blessed to be able to celebrate my birthday three times. (my brother questions the fairness of this =) Here are some pics from the fun time we had.

To start off the weekend, five of my best friends came over to my house for a sleepover. We had a blast!

My Dad even made a photo scavenger hunt for us. Some of the clues were very hard. Can you guess what we were looking for in this picture?

JOY!

Later, in addition to cake and ice cream, we devoured a God's Princess stroke of genius:

Chocolate Pizza!

All in all, my sleepover was a ton of fun, and, believe it or not, I actually got 8 hours of sleep!

The next day.

After all my friends went home, my Grandparents and cousins came over to celebrate mine and my Gramma's birthdays.

Finally, on the last day of the weekend, it was my birthday! It was so nice to have already done my party and to be able to spend time with my family.

Chickie was Little Buddy's special birthday present to me. (Isn't that sweet)

As I start my year as a fourteen year old, I am very thankful for my family and friends who surround me with their love and kindness. But most of all, I am extremely thankful to God for his never-ending patience and love toward me.

About Me

Hey there! Nice to meet you. I am Abby. More than that, I am a follower of Jesus Christ. He is my everything, and he shows me more and more of who he is each day. Here in my corner of the blogosphere, I strive to celebrate the beauty of life, by sharing the big and little works of God I see everyday. My hope is that by sharing what He is doing in my life, God will use my words to encourage you in your journey. Please join me in spreading the joy that comes from living to further His kingdom!

Ephesians 3:20-21

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Jesus Christ, throughout all generations, forever and ever, amen!
